Ice Cream Bar Mystery Set - Heimlich

This charming pin features Heimlich the caterpillar from Disney and Pixar’s A Bug’s Life, released in 1998, reimagined as a colorful ice cream bar. Part of the Ice Cream Bar Mystery Set released in 2018 at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, this pin captures the whimsical aesthetic of a classic Mickey-shaped treat. The design utilizes a bright color palette of lime green and teal, accented by red swirl details that mimic the pattern of a snack. As an Open Edition pin, it was a staple of the mystery box trading culture popular at the parks during that time. Heimlich remains a beloved character for his humorous obsession with food and his eventual transformation into a beautiful, albeit slightly chubby, butterfly. The pin’s stylized, graphic art approach makes it a fun addition for collectors who focus on Pixar-themed sets or character-specific collections. Since these were released in blind mystery boxes, completing the set required significant trading or luck, which has kept interest in these individual mystery pieces high among modern collectors. The pin is a standard metal base with vibrant enamel fill, reflecting the high quality typical of Open Edition releases from that era.
